Badge operating principle
- Turn on: Device will turn on when pressing the button for one second. (beep)
- When the device is ON, the LED indicates idle with blinking blue.
- Turn off: Device will turn off when pressing the button for four seconds. (bzz bzz)
- Silence: When alerting, the tag can be silenced for 10 minutes by pressing the button for one second.
- Power: The device has a 750 mAh battery. Battery life is approx. 10 days. The device is recommended to turn off after the workday.
- Battery LED-indicator:
• Battery state is indicated with LED light:
• > 40% BLUE
• 10%-40% YELLOW
• < 10% RED - Battery charging time 2h. The device will be charged with a USB-C cable.
- During charging, LED is RED. When the battery is full, LED is GREEN
- The device communicates with beacons for data offload and firmware updates.
Safe distances
Badges are measuring the distances between each other. If the distance mittaavat etäisyyttä toisiinsa. If the specified distance is exceeded, the device will trigger an alert sound and LED light.
Alert occurs if:
- The distance between the devices is less than 1.5 meters:
• RED LED indication
• Frequent beeping (every second)
The above settings are customizable by the customer.
Note: The power-saving feature is enabled in the latest software. The device goes to sleep if the device is stationary for 60 seconds. The device is activated again when the device detects movement (acceleration sensor). This is also customizable by the customer.
Beacon (for Over-the-Air updates and Cloud Offload)
Beacon s are NOT required for basic P2P proximity detection and
alert. One Beacon can be installed away from the working area for:
- Badge data up load to cloud ( including contact history)
- Over-the-Air firmware upgra de of Badges.
Beacon installation can be ignored if OTA and/or Cloud offload is not required.
Beacon Installation Steps
- Beacon s are PoE powered, so a simple CAT6 Ethernet cable can be used for Data and Power connectivity with the Beacon
figure 2: Beacon with CAT6 Cable PoE Port - One end of the CAT6 cable will be terminated on Beacon, and the other end of the cable will be connected to PoE Switch.
Ports TCP 443 and UDP 1317 have to be open.
Figure 3: PoE Port of Switch, connected with Beacon - PoE switch in Power supply.
Figure 4: Power Switch - Ethernet Cable to be connected from Port 5 on PoE Switch to Customer’s Network.
- Once connections are made, turn on the power supply of the PoE switch. Blue LED on Beacon will light up.
- Bringing Badge close to Beacon will allow Badge to transfer data to Cloud.
- A laptop can be used to check if internet browsing is working on Switch.
OTA Upgrade Steps
For upgrading the Firmware of the Badges, follow the steps below:
- Set up and power on the Beacon as per the steps defined in section 5.1
- Bring the Badge (s) close to where the Beacon is placed.
- Once the Badge (s) is in the range of the Beacon, the latest firmware will be automatically uploaded into them.
Cloud Offload and Contact
Tracing Steps
For offloading contact data from Badges internal memory, follow the steps below:
- Once the Badges are updated to the latest firmware ( as per steps defined in section 5.2), bringing them close to the Beacon again will automatically upload the contact data to The process is completely automated and contact tracing is available in the latest firmware. Once the data has been uploaded, contact tracing can be accessed via the web application.

Figure 10: Web Ul— User statistics - Configure gives you options for configuring tag settings.
Safe use of UWB Badge
Extra caution should be followed when wearing a Badge near objects that the device could be stuck to. A lanyard with a safety breaker feature should be used only to avoid excess force to occur against the person.
To prevent possible damage, excess force against the Badge enclosure should be avoided. Wearing products for example in the back pocket of trousers is prohibited.
In case of broken enclosure use of the product should be discontinued and Noccela Customer Support should be contacted for further advice.
